Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has directed the National Broadcasting Commission to immediately implement measures aimed at repositioning the broadcast industry with a view to sanitising the industry, creating jobs, promoting local content and bringing the broadcast industry up to par with the best practices from around the world.
In a statement yesterday in Abuja, the minister said the directive becomes necessary following the submission of the report of the committee set up to work out the modalities for implementing the recommendations approved by President Muhammadu Buhari to reposition the broadcast industry. According to him, major highlights of the directive include new regulations to compel broadcasters to utilise the content and services of Nigerian independent producers in fulfillment of the regulatory requirements for 70 per cent local content, rather than the current abuse of the rules, which allows many loopholes for the production of such content in jurisdictions outside Nigeria.
It's good and welcome development.
What more can be sanitized urgently if not his lying attitude
What's his first name?🤔😂
